CALL TO ORDER The Supervisor called the meeting to order at 8:15 p.m. ROLL CALL Present: Supervisor Helwig Councilman Faiola Councilman Nagel Councilman Vandernoot Councilman Bloom Absent: None Also Present: Mr. Gronberg - Town Clerk Mrs. Brewer - Deputy Clerk Mr. Johnston - Town Attorney Mr. Aitchison - Highway Superintendent Mr. Altieri - Comptroller Mr. Widulski - Town Engineer PUBLIC HEARINGS 1. Adoption of Local Law No. 2-1970 (Property Maintenance) On motion duly made and seconded it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the public hearing be and it here- by is declared open. The Clerk presented the Affidavit of Publication of the Notice of Hearing for the record, and the Supervisor requested the Attorney to outline briefly the proposed Local Law. Mr. Johnston stated that the Building Inspector and he felt that the present law was not as strong as they would like it to be since it required considerable time to have the owners clean up commercial properties and structures abutting resi- dential areas. Toward this end, they recommended the adoption of this proposed Local Law which would apply to open areas in the particulars set forth therein, and enable the Building Inspector to have owners clean and keep property in good order and condition. Vacant buildings would have to be secured so as not to become a health or safety hazard and thus possibly injure adjacent properties. "This in a general way, Madam Supervisor", the Attorney concluded, "is what this Law provides for with the penalties for enforcement in the hands of the Building Inspector, who under the proposed Law, is empowered to move to enforce its provisions immediately or within what in his discretion constitutes a reasonable length of time depending upon the obtaining conditions. _ 1 _ The Chair then inquired whether any member of the Board had any comment or question and since not, whether anyone present wished to be heard, whereupon Mrs. Phyllis Wittner of 6 Pheasant Run,-asked the Attorney whether this proposed Law would apply to vacant lots? He replied that it would if said lots were in a commercially zoned area. The Supervisor then inquired whether anyone wished to be heard either in favor of or in opposition to the proposed Law and since no one did, on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilman Bloom, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the hearing be and it hereby is declared closed. Whereupon in reply to the Chair's inquiry as to the Board's pleasure, Councilman Faiola moved the adoption of the Law as proposed. The motion was seconded by Councilman Bloom and the following resolution adopted by unanimous vote of the Board, with all members present and voting "aye": RESOLVED, that this Board hereby adopts Local Law No. 2, of the Town of Mamaroneck for the year 1970 which shall read as follows: (over) 2 - Local Law No. 2-1970 Local Law Number 2 — 1970 ation to the character of the various Adopted by the Town Board of zoning districts and the stability for the Town of Mamaroneck at a the particular uses therein.

Adoption of Local Law No. 3-1970 (Code of Ethics) On motion duly made and seconded it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the public hearing be and it here- - by is declared open. The Attorney hereupon advised the Board that legally this hear- ing would have to be adjourned at this point since the revised proposed Code of Ethics had not been on the desk of each member of the Board for the statutory period required by law. Accord- ingly, he recommended since there was no emergency in time that the hearing be adjourned until the next meeting of the Board on July 8th. And thereupon on the Supervisor's inquiry as to the Board's pleasure, on Councilman Vandernoot's motion, seconded by Council- man Bloom, it was so ordered. Councilman Bloom then inquired of the Attorney whether any discussion of the proposed revisions could be heard at this time and upon an affirmative answer explained that the State Legislature in its 1970 session had adopted amendments to Section 800 of the General Municipal Law requiring municipalities to adopt Codes of Ethics and establish local Boards of Ethics. He further stated that under the State Law, information had not been clear as to the date by which municipalities had to adopt such Codes, but that the Law did specifically state that upon adoption, it must be filed with the State Comptroller within 30 days of the date of said adoption and in no case later than December 31st of 1970. Mr. Fred L. Maggini - 1281 Palmer Avenue, Town Mr. Maggini, Chairman of the Town Planning Board, asked whether such Codes of Ethics would be uniform throughout the State? Councilman Bloom replied that the State recommended seven or eight types or other models of Codes, any of which could be used as a pattern, if deemed advisable by a municipality. He explained further that the State Code of Ethics related primarily to contracts and that the proposed Code for the Town was based on the Association of Towns' model since the Committee felt this model was best suited to meet the Town's requirements. In reply to a query from the floor as to what neighboring municipalities had adopted Codes of Ethics, he replied that, to the best of his knowledge, at this date the Town of Harrison was the only neighboring municipality which had adopted a Code.

Authorization - Sewer Agreement (Scarsdale) At the Supervisor's request, the Town Attorney informed the Board that Mrs. Mimi Lesser owner of the premises located at 24 Stonewall Lane, desired to build a swimming pool on her property. The major portion of her property, and es- pecially the improvement, he said, was within the Village of Scarsdale and therefore she had filed an application for construction of the pool and appeared before the Scarsdale Board of Appeals. He explained further that the pool was proposed to be located where the leaching fields were presently situated, and that the Scarsdale Board had granted the application on the condition that Mrs. Lesser connect to the Town of Mamaroneck's new sewer facility before destroying her septic fields. Consequently, Mrs. Lesser had applied to the Town for permission to make this connection and pay for the facility. The Village Attorney of Scarsdale following consultation with the Town Attorney, had proposed a tri-party agreement made on the basis of a cost of $40.00 per year. Mr. Johnston then stated that after reviewing this proposal, he felt that this cost was too low,as based on an assessment of $24,400. , the fee would run from $48.00 to $50.00 per year. He further pointed out that the agreement could also provide for adjust- ment of the fee from time to time so as to reflect the in- crease of sewer rentals. In view of the foregoing, he advised the Board that if it chose to do so, it could pass a resolution at this time authorizing the Supervisor to sign such an agreement with the understand- ing that the Comptroller and Attorney would determine a new cost figure to be inserted in the agreement, and with the further understanding that this new figure would be trans- mitted to the Attorney for the Village of Scarsdale and Mrs. Mimi Lesser toward the amendment of the agreements as drawn. Whereupon on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Council- man Bloom, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that the Supervisor be and she hereby is authorized to execute on behalf of the Town of Mamaroneck a tri-party agreement between the Village of Scarsdale, the Town of Mamaroneck and Mrs. Mimi - 7 - Lesser, owner of the premises located at 24 Stonewall Lane, and more particularly defined as Block 333 Parcel 401 on the Assessment Map of the Town of Mamaroneck, granting permission to her to connect to the Town of Mamaroneck's new sewer facility at an annual rental to be determined by the Comptroller of the Town of Mamaroneck in con- junction with the Town Attorney and in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the said agreement. 5. Exemption of CAP Property Pursuant to letter addressed to the Assessor by Mr. W. H. James, member of CAP Board of Directors under date of June 11th, 1970, and enclosures submitted therewith, all of which were herewith ordered received and filed as part of the record of this meeting and upon the Attorney's recommenda- tion that the requested exemption be granted, on motion by Councilman Nagel, seconded by Councilman Faiola, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes that the property located at 134 Center Avenue in the Village and Town of Mamaroneck, in the name of Westchester Community Opportunity Program, Inc. , which is more specifically described as Block 823 Parcel 601 on the Tax Map of the Town of Mamaro- neck, be placed on the 1971 Town of Mamaroneck Assessment Roll as exempt. 6. Authorization of Contract - Rental of Voting Machines The Clerk presented the contract for the rental of three Automatic Voting Machines and requested that the Supervisor be authorized to execute same on behalf of the Town. Whereupon on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Council- man Vandernoot, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that this Board hereby authorizes the Supervisor to execute on behalf of the Town of Mamaroneck, the contract with Automatic Voting Machine Division of AVM Corporation of James- town, New York, for the rental of three (3) Automatic Voting Machines of the Nine Party Row, Thirty (30) Office Column Size, at a rental price of $171.70 each, said contract to be signed subject to approval by the Town Attorney. COMMUNICATIONS 1. Letter, Mrs. Martha Munzer A letter addressed to the Town Board by Mrs. Martha E. Munzer, member of the Conservation Advisory Committee, dated June 9th, 1970, was herewith presented and ordered received and filed. Inasmuch as the aforesaid communication referred to the use of certain lands, particularly estuarian marshland and the - 8 - s)3>$ flood plains of our rivers, being used for development sites, and to the solving of the inner city problem by providing new low and middle income housing, on motion by Councilman Faiola, seconded by Councilman Vandernoot, it was unanimously RESOLVED, that a copy of the foregoing communica- tion be referred to the Town of Mamaroneck Plan- ning Board and the Conservation Advisory Committee for attention and considered study. 2. Letter, George P. Forbes, Jr. , Attorney A letter addressed to the Town Board by George P. Forbes, Jr. , as Attorney for Mrs. Harold D. Widmark of 14 Edgewood Avenue, under date of June 9th, 1970, was herewith presented and ordered received and filed. Councilman Faiola stated that he would like to have this letter referred to the Fire Council for study and report to this Board which accordingly was unanimously so ordered. Councilman Vandernoot stated that he thought the request made by Mrs. Widmark's Attorney was a reasonable one, and Councilman Bloom agreed therewith, stating that he felt very serious consideration should be given this matter. Upon recognition by the Chair, Mr. William J. Gerety of Hillcrest Avenue addressed the Board, inquiring as to how long Mrs. Widmark had resided in the area -- and stating that it seemed to him that from time immemorial, the small children in the neighborhood had used this area at the rear of the Firehouse as a play area. He further stated he remembered that Mrs. Widmark had brought the same complaint up previously, and that after study by the Recreation Commission, the suggestion that the area be made into a recreation play area was turned down at that time. The Supervisor thanked Mr. Gerety for his remarks and stated that the matter would be given further consideration upon receipt of the Fire Council's report. 3. Letter, Sidney J. Leshin, Attorney The Clerk reported that inasmuch as the information in the communication addressedto him by Sidney J. Leshin, Attorney for Orienta Bus Lines, Inc. , dated June 4th, 1970, did not fur- nish definitive enough information, the matter of fixing a date for a hearing on the petition of Orienta Bus Lines, Inc. , to operate over the route set forth therein would have to be held over until the required additional information was received. 4.
